It is important to incorporate the patient perspective into healthcare education, as we know that patients are experts in their own conditions. The expertise gained through lived experience serves to complement the theoretical knowledge that healthcare educators can provide. This scoping review aims to explore patient involvement in medical education within obstetrics and gynaecology, a specialty that can provide unique challenges and complexities to patient involvement due to its potentially highly sensitive and intimate nature. The goal of this study is to map the available literature on this topic which will allow for the identification of potential gaps in the provision of training for medical students in this field. The research also aims to highlight challenges that may be associated with patient involvement in this specialty in order to guide future initiatives.
The Joanna Briggs Institute scoping review framework and methodology will be used to guide and conduct this scoping review. A systematic search of electronic databases MEDLINE, CINAHL, Embase, Scopus, PsycINFO, ERIC, Google Scholar, Web of Science, African Journals Online, Cochrane Library and SciVerse will be carried out. Articles will be limited to the English language. No geographical limitations will be placed on the search. Literature from 1960 to 2023 will be considered for inclusion which corresponds with the first reports of patient educators used to assist with the demonstration of clinical skills in obstetrics and gynaecology. Relevant academic journals will be hand-searched for the previous 5 years. Identified studies will be screened by two independent reviewers and data extraction carried out by the primary researcher. Key findings will be presented in tables and summarised in narrative form. Findings from the review will be reported according to the PRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews reporting checklist.
Ethical approval is not required for this study. The findings from the study will be submitted for publication in peer-reviewed journals and at medical education conferences.
将患者视角纳入医疗保健教育非常重要，因为我们知道患者是自身病情的专家。通过生活经验获得的专业知识可以补充医疗教育者所能提供的理论知识。本范围综述旨在探讨妇产科医学教育中的患者参与，该专业由于其潜在的高度敏感和亲密性质，可能给患者参与带来独特的挑战和复杂性。本研究的目的是绘制关于该主题的现有文献图谱，以便确定在该领域为医学生提供培训方面可能存在的差距。该研究还旨在突出与该专业患者参与相关的挑战，以指导未来的举措。
乔安娜·布里格斯研究所（Joanna Briggs Institute）范围综述框架和方法将用于指导和进行本范围综述。将对 MEDLINE、CINAHL、Embase、Scopus、PsycINFO、ERIC、Google Scholar、Web of Science、African Journals Online、Cochrane Library 和 SciVerse 等电子数据库进行系统检索。文章将仅限于英语。搜索将不限制地理位置。将考虑纳入 1960 年至 2023 年的文献，这与首次报告使用患者教育者协助演示妇产科临床技能相对应。将对过去 5 年的相关学术期刊进行手工检索。由两名独立评审员筛选确定的研究，并由主要研究人员进行数据提取。主要发现将以表格形式呈现，并以叙述形式总结。综述结果将按照 PRISMA 扩展范围综述报告清单进行报告。
本研究不需要伦理批准。该研究的结果将提交给同行评议期刊和医学教育会议发表。
